Kou Ji pondered for a moment and asked, "Does the official family plan to give in to the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, or do they plan to resist it?" ”

A determined look flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes, and he said fiercely: "I have no intention of giving in to them. Not only did I not want to give in, but I also wanted to beat them up and shut them up, which gave me a headache. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he felt a lot more relieved.

He was really afraid that Zhao Zhen would bow his head easily in the face of the civil and military persecution of the Manchu Dynasty as recorded in the history books.

Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen and laughed in a low voice: "Since the official family has a headache, it would be good to rest for a few days." ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he had a bitter face and muttered: "I can't deal with the impeachment of those courtiers, so how can I have time to rest." ”

Kou Ji said naturally: "But after you rest, don't you have to listen to the impeachment of the Manchu Dynasty?" No one is nagging in your ear, right? ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned, rolled his eyes, and exclaimed, "Are you trying to make me ...... Strike the dynasty? ”

"Can't you?"

Kou Ji asked with a smile.

Zhao Zhen put his hands behind his back, made a contemplative gesture, and said: "It's okay, the government is handled by the Taishi, even if I don't go to the court, the court can't be chaotic......"

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "It's just that I escaped from the court, will the courtiers feel that I am weak and easy to bully?" ”

Kou Ji explained: "The official family is now young and has no pro-government, so it is wise to avoid the difficulties of the Manchu civil and military forces. How can it be seen as weak? ”

Zhao Zhen nodded thoughtfully and said, "You're right...... But I always felt that I was a little unhappy in the dormitory like this. ”

Kou Ji grinned and said: "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty do not allow the official family to compete with the people for profit, and the official family can also not allow them to compete with the people for profit?" ”

Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up and said, "I remember that when Mr. Xiang once gave me a lesson, he said that many officials in the DPRK and China are running large and small businesses behind their backs. ”

Zhao Zhen withdrew his hands from behind his back, put them together, rubbed them, and said excitedly: "Then can we use the previous method of punishing corrupt officials to punish those noisy guys?" ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, and his face was strange.

Zhao Zhen is this bad learning?

Seeing that Kou Ji's expression was wrong, the excited look on Zhao Zhen's face retracted, and he said with some loss in his heart: "Isn't it okay?" ”

Kou Ji pondered: "It's not impossible, it's just a way to use it twice, the Manchu Dynasty will definitely be vigilant in the future, and when you want to use it again, it will be difficult." ”

Zhao Zhen's face resurfaced with excitement, "I'll talk about it later, and then punish these noisy guys." ”

Seeing that Zhao Zhen had to punish the officials in the court, he had a big feeling, and if he didn't punish them, he wouldn't feel comfortable in his heart.

Kou Ji said: "Since the official family has to punish them, then the minister will tell the official family?" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded with a bright smile.

Kou Ji muttered: "There are quite a few courtiers who impeached the official family this time, and if the official family wants to punish them all, I am afraid it will not be easy. If there are too many officials to punish, they will impeach more ferociously.

Therefore, the official family should pick one or two families that do big business, and impeach the official family who is the most fierce, and punish one or two.

Through them, they will make an example of the chickens and monkeys.

When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty saw their tragedy, they would also restrain one or two. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded thoughtfully, and after thinking for a while, he clapped his hands and said, "Just do as you say." ”

"Chen Lin?"

"The slave is here!"

"Go and check with me, and find out if the most vicious official in the court who impeached me is doing business behind his back, and what kind of business is he doing...... Pick one or two that are greasy and report them to me. ”

"The slave obeys."

“……”

Chen Lin walked out of the side hall.

Zhao Zhen pulled Kou Ji, and the two discussed how to trick people in the hall.

After discussing for an hour or so, and after discussing the specific plan, Kou Ji arched his hand and withdrew from the side hall in Zhao Zhen's excited look.

As soon as he appeared outside the door of the side hall, he heard Chen Lin's voice sound, "You are becoming more and more like a slanderer......

Koji squinted at him, "You're accusing me of slander?" ”

Chen Lin snorted coldly: "Isn't it? ”

Kou Ji spread his hands and said seriously: "Everything I said is in accordance with the thoughts of the official family. ”

Chen Lin pursed his lips and said, "Ding Wei was like this back then. ”

The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched, and he said, "Do you think I'm willing to tell the official family this?" But if you have some ability, or if the official family can know from other people how to deal with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, you don't need to ask me. ”

Chen Lin instantly widened her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "Are you complaining about our family's incompetence?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin and snorted, "Isn't it?" ”

Chen Lin said angrily: "Our family is just a eunuch, and eunuchs should not discuss the government in vain!" ”

Kou Ji said disdainfully: "There is Wang Jien in the front, Zhou Huaizheng in the back, plus a Guo Huai, and there is a lot of talk about the government." ”

Chen Lin said with an angry face: "How can they be compared to our family." ”

Kou Ji snorted twice, stopped paying attention to Chen Lin, and left the palace with his hands behind his back.

The day after Koji left the palace.

Zhao Zhen flicked his sleeves angrily in the impeachment of the Manchu Dynasty and left the Vertical Arch Palace.

From that day on, for three days.

Zhao Zhen also did not go to court.

It was claimed that he was infected with wind and cold and needed to stay in bed for a few days.

After the Manchu civil and military learned about this, they were in an uproar.

Kou Zhun took this opportunity to reprimand them.

It is a bit too much to threaten them to join forces to bully the young officials.

Under the reprimand of Kou Zhun, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty admitted their mistakes one after another.

After leaving the palace, he hurriedly sent someone to inquire about the news to see if Zhao Zhen was really sick.

However, the news they found out made them a little speechless.

Zhao Zhen was not sick, but quit the dynasty under the pretext of excuse.

They were angry about it, but they couldn't do anything about it.

Zhao Zhen is sick or not, he has the final say.

Qualified to go to the dormitory to find out if Zhao Zhen is really sick, there are only three people, Kou Zhun, Li Di, and Wang Zeng.

The rest of the people need to be summoned by Zhao Zhen, or led by Kou Zhun and the three of them, to be qualified to meet Zhao Zhen.

Therefore, as long as Zhao Zhen keeps saying that he is sick, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces will not be able to help him.

Seeing that there was no way to continue spraying Zhao Zhen, the Manchu Dynasty turned the gun and began to spray Kou Ji.

Kou Ji is also single.

At the most intense time of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military spray, Lone went to the court, and in the face of the impeachment of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, he dropped a sentence.

"You officials don't compete with the people for profit, impeach me? But you are in the background, and you are not doing business, right? Why don't you impeach yourself? It's okay to do business with your mansions, but not my Koufu?

Do you think I'm a bully?

If you don't let my Koufu do business, and don't let my Koufu compete with the people for profit, it's okay to say.

As long as the imperial court grants me the power to investigate and deal with the merchants of the world, find out the business behind your mansions, and close them down one by one.

I'm going to close the business under the Koufu. ”

Kou Ji spoke, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were speechless.

Kou Ji no longer took care of them, and took care of Jiaozipu and the resettlement of displaced people outside the city with peace of mind.

Since then, the Manchu civil and military forces have never impeached Kou Ji.

Zhao Zhen passed the Manchu Dynasty civil and military in Kou Ji, and seven days later, he appeared again in the Vertical Arch Palace.

In the face of the impeachment of the Manchu civil and military forces, he pointed out on the spot that some officials in the DPRK and China were doing business behind their backs, and pointed out the evidence that they had taken advantage of their power to collude with officials and businessmen to seek huge profits.

Kou Zhun was not polite.

When he learned that some officials and businessmen had colluded to seek huge profits, he decisively ordered the Criminal Department to strictly investigate the matter.

After verifying the truth, it was handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation.

Since then, the voice of the Manchu civil and military impeachment of Zhao Zhen has been much quieter.

Zhao Zhen was also much more relaxed.

The matter of Jiaozipu has since come to an end.

Although those civil and military nobles who did not give up, seeing that the impeachment of Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji failed, they made a lot of stumbling blocks for Jiaozipu behind their backs, trying to use this to collapse Jiaozipu.

But they were all resolved by Kou Ji one by one.

The civil and military nobles tried their best to bring down Jiaozipu.

Seeing that those merchants who verified that the Jiaozi shops in Jiangning Mansion and Sichuan Mansion could exchange Jiaozi shops, after depositing a large amount of money into Jiaozi shops, they were heartbroken, and they also followed the example of Jiaozi shops and opened other Jiaozi shops.

After Kou Ji saw the opening of other Jiaozi shops, he completely relieved his heart.

Since those civil and military nobles have chosen to open a Jiaozi shop, they will no longer deliberately find trouble with a Jiaozi shop in the future.

As for the Jiaozi shops opened by those civil and military nobles, whether they would rob the business of the Jiaozi shop, Kou Ji never thought about it.

With the credibility of the royal family, as well as his Kou Ji's mind, if he can still let those Jiaozi shops opened by civil and military nobles steal the business, then he will not be a Jiaozi shop.

After the dust settled on the Jiaozipu matter, the first textile workshop built by the displaced people outside the city was also completely completed.

Kou Ji invited Liu Heng, Cao Tong, and Mu Chong, who had just returned to Bianjing City to accompany Li Di and Wang Zeng to deal with corrupt officials for a long time, to rush outside the city to celebrate the completion of the first textile workshop.

The group rode in a carriage with an entourage, a total of dozens of people, and left Bianjing.

As soon as I got out of Bianjing, snowflakes fell slowly.

The snowflakes are small and dissolve instantly to the touch.

When it falls to the ground, it instantly turns into a drop of water.

Kou Ji lifted the curtain of the carriage, stretched out his hand, felt the coldness of the snowflake tentacles, and sighed: "It's snowing? ”

Liu Heng wrapped his body tightly, resisting the cold wind pouring in from the carriage window, tilted his head sideways and glanced out, and said lightly: "The snow is too small to fall." ”

Koji nodded, lowered the curtain of the carriage, and gave an order to the coachman who was driving the carriage outside, telling him to drive the carriage on.

Then after he sat down, he smiled at Liu Heng and said: "There is a popular saying among the people, called the three-layer quilt of wheat cover in winter, and sleep on the pillow of cooking cakes in the coming year." This year, there was an autumn flood in Bianjing, which displaced many people and flooded many crops.

If the snow is thicker and moistens the ground, after the spring of next year, the people will plant grain, and in the autumn, there will definitely be a good harvest. ”

Liu Heng nodded approvingly.

Cao Yan, who was holding the hand warmer, shook his head, "Don't you dare to go down too thick, it's too thick, and it's not a good thing to make a white disaster." ”

Kou Ji glanced at Cao Yan and complained, "It's ...... to say depressing words."

Cao Tong raised his head, looked at Kou Ji, and said seriously: "What I said is not a frustrating word, but a big truth." You didn't go out with Duke Li and Wang Gong, and you don't know what has become of me when Song Chang closes his position.

Of the ten open positions, there can be four empty, three and a half full, and three full.

And the grain piled up in the warehouse is either old grain or moldy grain.

What's more, half of it is sand, and half of it is grain.

A flood in Bianjing City has consumed the old grain of Kaifeng Mansion and the state capitals around Kaifeng Mansion.

If there is a white disaster, then Bianjing City will be really chaotic. ”

Liu Heng nodded on the side and said: "I followed the prince and the prince Li out for half a month, and caught hundreds of profiteers, and found out that they resold more than two million tons of grain.

The prince was surprisingly ruthless to those profiteers and corrupt officials, and killed them all in one go.

Although those profiteers and corrupt officials were punished, it shocked the government and the opposition.

The imperial court also harvested a large number of gold and silver treasures by raiding the family and exterminating the clan.

But not much food was recovered, so if Bianjing City really caused a white disaster, it would inevitably be chaotic. ”

After listening to the words of the two, Kou Ji muttered: "Since this is the case, the imperial court should find ways to mobilize grain from other places into Beijing." Even if there is no white disaster in Bianjing City in winter, there is not enough food to support it, it is also a disaster.

Once the river freezes and the snow closes the road, if the grain from all over the country cannot be transported into Bianjing, there will be chaos. ”

When Liu Heng and Cao Tong heard this, they were all stunned.

The two of them looked at Kou Ji with a strange gaze.

Kou Ji looked up and down at the big on his body, and unconsciously stroked his cheek, not noticing anything wrong.

He asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Heng sighed and said with emotion: "When you said what you said just now, you looked like a prince. ”

Cao Tong nodded and said, "The prince said the same thing when he investigated and dealt with Chang Ping in Jingzhao Mansion. ”

The two looked at each other.

Liu Heng exclaimed: "Fourth brother, you are becoming more and more like an important minister in the court. ”

Kou Ji said with a stunned face: "Really? ”

Liu Heng and Cao Tong nodded in unison.

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and laughed silently: "You two are adjusting me?" Still want to make money? ”

Liu Heng and Cao Tong hurriedly said: "I think! ”

Although the two of them are rich and powerful now.

But who would dislike money?

Since Kou Ji transported 10 million yuan in Bianjing City, he swaggered around.

Everyone in Bianjing City has a new understanding of money.

Nowadays, all the wealthy families who can't take out 10 million copper coins in one breath are embarrassed to claim that they are wealthy.

It is precisely because of this that those wealthy families have become more greedy.

Although Liu Heng and Cao Tong had just returned to Bianjing City, they were more or less influenced by some other people in the house.

The three of them talked and laughed, and arrived at the place where the displaced people were settled.

Chen Jing, Wang Tiansheng and others led the displaced people; Bi Sheng led the officials of the Ministry of Works, as well as craftsmen.

They all gathered on the avenue of the settlement of the displaced people, waiting for the arrival of Kou Ji and his party.
